The walls of the room were red and white, with a similarly colored blankets and sheets on the bed, which was conveniently located by the window. There was a closet across the room from the bed with a full length mirror beside it. On the wooden desk were a few candles, a few ink wells, and quills. I set my suitcase down on the bed and hung my ugly uniforms up. Wandering back to the bed, I opened my suitcase and sighed at the contents.
'I don't think the school allows students to own weapons.' I thought out loud, carefully lifting my sword out of the suitcase.
I quickly replaced it and closed the case up, hastily storing it in a shaded corner of the closet. I glanced at one of the uniforms, then to my dark blue dress, then back.
'Aw, fuck it.' I muttered, getting up and taking one of the uniforms off the hanger.
I changed dresses and gazed at my reflection when I was done. Damn, the uniform was ugly! Sighing, I turned away from the mirror and sat down on the bed, folding my discarded dress and placing it beside me. I glanced out the good-sized window to see the rolling hills of green. Getting up, I strode to the window and opened it, leaning out and taking a deep whiff of the fresh air. I would give anything to be out there, free to do whatever the hell I want. Twisting my body, I sat on the windowsill, still staring at the hills and the ocean beyond that. I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the edge of the window, humming a song I learned long ago. After a few minutes, I got off of the windowsill and strode back to my bed.
Before I could sit on the comfy surface, a huge boom sounded from outside the castle, making me yelp in surprise and cover my sensitive ears. What I think was a bell rang a total of four times before becoming silent. Cautiously, I lowered my hands, every one of my nerves on edge. From outside my window, I heard a multitude of voices. I guess it's ether lunch, or that was the end of one class.
Taking a shuddering breath, I sat down on the bed. After a few minutes, I heard a commotion in the hallway. Cautiously, I got up and opened my door, peeking my head out and looking around. What I saw angered me. A dark-haired boy and a few other boys had Artie pinned on the brick wall. Stepping out of my room, I stalked towards them. The dark-haired boy spotted me and let Artie go, keeping a firm hold on the back of his shirt.
'Who is this pretty maiden?' he asked as his friends gawked at me.
'I'm Eva, Artie's friend.' I replied coolly, putting emphasis on 'friend'.
He looked at me for a second then busted out laughing. 'Friends...with this loser? Man, how much did he pay for you to say that?' He choked out, wiping a tear of mirth from his eye.
If anything, that only pissed me off more.
'For one, he is not a loser, and he didn't pay me anything, I said it on my free will.' I snapped, narrowing my violet eyes and stalking forward so that I was in front of him.
'I would appreciate it if you let him go.' I snarled, getting in between the boy and an awe-struck Artie.
He glared at me defiantly then stated, 'Make me.'
I growled and punched a pressure point on his arm, making him howl in pain and releasing Artie's shirt in the process.
'Never, and I mean never, piss me off, otherwise it might be the last thing you do', I threatened.
The boy glared at me and said, 'Come on, we'll deal with her later.'
As soon as the boy and his friends left, I turned to Artie and offered a smile.
'U-umm, well, thanks...for defending me', Artie stuttered, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
My smile got wider as I said, 'No problem. Who was that anyway?'
He looked away before saying, 'That was Lancelot, captain of the Jousting Team.'
I huffed and muttered, 'I've never liked jocks.'
Artie looked up with questioning eyes as he asked, 'Did you really mean it when you said that you were my friend?'
I rolled my eyes and stated, 'Of course I did. I'd think the guy that kindly showed me to my room would be my friend.'
He looked shocked at first, then a smile wormed its way across his lips.
Just then, my stomach gave a loud grumble.
My face went red as I sheepishly said, 'Hehe, I guess we should get to lunch.'
He only smiled and led the way out of the hallway.
A/N Don't worry, you guys will se lunchtime at Wostershire Acadamy next chappie! ^_^ I don't own Shrek 3 or its characters! I only own Eva, Eva's past, and any other OCs in here!
